Every Star Wars Star Who Has Crossed Into the DCU So Far

James Gunn and Peter Safran have been busy quietly rebuilding DC on a clear timeline, and it shows. And in the middle of that reset, something funny happened: a lot of the new DCU cast also moonlights in a galaxy far, far away. If you keep getting deja vu watching DC and Star Wars, that is not your imagination.

Quick DCU status check

The new DCU officially kicked off in December 2024 with the animated series Creature Commandos, which opened Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. 2025 brought a clean slate in live action with Superman, followed by Peacemaker Season 2 on HBO. 2026 is stacked: Supergirl hits theaters on June 26, Lanterns bows on HBO in August, and the body-horror swing Clayface closes the year on October 23. Looking ahead, Man of Tomorrow is dated for 2027, with new Wonder Woman and Batman films in active development. The plan so far: mix proven names with younger breakouts who can stick around across multiple projects.

The DCU/Star Wars crossover crowd

9. Tim Meadows
   In the DCU: Peacemaker Season 2 adds Meadows as Langston Fleury, a sharp-tongued ARGUS lifer who makes Steve Agee's John Economos absolutely miserable. The back-and-forth is some of the season's best comedy, and Fleury clearly has legs as a recurring intel-world foil.
   In Star Wars: He pops up in The Mandalorian ( 2023) as Colonel Tuttle, a New Republic official stuck managing a pirate mess on Nevarro. Same dry authority, different bureaucracy.

10. Peter Serafinowicz
    In the DCU: A guest turn in Creature Commandos as Victor Frankenstein, the unhinged scientist who creates both Eric Frankenstein and the Bride. Classic Gunn move: a trusted performer slotted into a razor-specific supporting role.
    In Star Wars: The original voice of Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace. He also recorded Maul for Solo, but Lucasfilm ultimately swapped in Sam Witwer's track. Very nerdy credit, very specific wrinkle.

11. David Harbour
    In the DCU: A core player in Creature Commandos as Eric Frankenstein, the heartsick heavy forever chasing the Bride while she wants nothing to do with him. It is one of the show's emotional anchors, and Season 2 is already in production with Harbour back.
    In Star Wars: Voices Jedi Master Tajin Crosser in the English dub of The Elder from Star Wars: Visions.

12. Dee Bradley Baker
    In the DCU: Yes, that is Baker voicing Eagly across both seasons of Peacemaker, promoted to full-on Prime Eagle in Season 2.
    In Star Wars: He is every single clone trooper across The Clone Wars, Rebels, and The Bad Batch, including Captain Rex, Commander Cody, and all of Clone Force 99. One actor, an entire army, all distinct. It is a ridiculous technical flex.

13. Indira Varma
    In the DCU: Voices the Bride in Creature Commandos, the reluctant leader of Task Force M whose arc is basically centuries-old homunculus relearns how to care. Gunn has said this cast was built to translate to live action, so expect Varma's Bride to show up on screen down the line.
    In Star Wars: Tala Durith in Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022), an Imperial officer quietly helping spirit surviving Jedi to safety.

14. Alan Tudyk
    In the DCU: A Gunn Swiss Army knife. In Creature Commandos alone he voices Dr. Phosphorus, Clayface, Will Magnus, and Tanner, the Son of Themyscira. He also slips into Superman as Gary, one of Kal-El's robots.
    In Star Wars: The voice and performance-capture of K-2SO in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (and tied to Andor ). K-2's lethal honesty and zero self-preservation instinct made him an instant fan favorite.

15. Naomi Ackie
    In the DCU: Plays Dr. Caitlin Bates in Clayface, a fringe scientist whose experimental therapy turns struggling actor Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries) into the infamous shapeshifter. James Watkins directs from a script by Mike Flanagan. It is a mid-$40 million body-horror movie landing October 23, 2026.
    In Star Wars: Jannah in The Rise of Skywalker, a former stormtrooper who defects and helps the Resistance in the final push against the Final Order.

16. Aaron Pierre
    In the DCU: Green Lantern John Stewart in HBO's Lanterns, premiering August 2026, with a confirmed return in Man of Tomorrow (2027). One of the most exciting pieces of the new lineup.
    In Star Wars: Cast in Shawn Levy 's Star Wars: Starfighter, releasing May 28, 2027. Role is under wraps. Pierre confirmed his involvement in October 2025 and sounded legitimately amped about Levy's approach.

17. Adria Arjona
    In the DCU: Newly added to Man of Tomorrow as Maxima, the superpowered alien queen who tends to live somewhere between antagonist and anti-hero in the comics. That puts her alongside David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Lars Eidinger, and Aaron Pierre in Gunn's 2027 Superman sequel.
    In Star Wars: Bix Caleen in Andor, a standout performance that had fans casting her in half the DCU years before this Maxima news actually landed.

Bottom line: DC's talent pool is pulling from Star Wars a lot right now, intentionally or not. When your franchise slate has real momentum and a long runway, you hire people who can carry character work across mediums. Turns out a bunch of them already know their way around a Star War.
